2014 Map of Hazen

About this map

The arid landscape of the Fortymile Desert and Twenty-Six-Mile Desert defines this section of the Nevada basin, where historical transit corridors converge near the border of Lyon and Churchill counties. The settlement of Hazen serves as a central point for local infrastructure, situated near the Hazen Drain and the elevated terrain of Black Butte. To the west, the community of Darwin and the Patua Hot Springs lie at the edge of the Virginia Range, illustrating the traditional reliance on thermal features and water management in this dry environment. The presence of the KX Lateral Canal and Swingle Bench underscores the regional focus on land reclamation and irrigation. Modern transit routes like Great Basin Pkwy and Farm District Rd overlay older topographic landmarks such as Ragtown Pass, showing the evolution of movement through these basins.
